Here are the Post-Election Stock-Market Winners in the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq

The three benchmark indices were up over 2% after the midterm elections

Midterm elections historically lead to stock market rallies, regardless of the results. Wednesday was no exception when there was a late-day rally in marijuana stocks adding icing to the cake.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA rose 545 points, or 2.1%, to close at 26,180.30. The S&P 500 Index SPX was up 2.1%, while the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP added 2.6%.

A split in party control of the two houses of Congress tends to cheer investors.

The resignation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions — at President Trump’s request — added fuel to the broad rally and helped stretch a seven-day rally for marijuana stocks. It’s too early, of course, to consider whether Trump’s eventually nominee to replace Sessions will share the outgoing AG’s opinion that legalizing the recreational use of cannabis is a bad idea. The ETFMG Alternative Harvest exchange-traded fund MJ rose 7.1%, while the Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences ETF HMMJ was up 8.1%. Shares of Aurora Cannabis ACB ended the day 9% higher, while Tilray TLRY was up 31%, and Cronos Group CRON rose 8.4%.

All stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average were up on Wednesday, except for Procter & Gamble PG.
